Building a freelance dance career takes persistence, patience, and dedication as well as a combination of relationship building, work ethic, and, at times, even creating your own opportunities.
In fact, finding dance work can be one of the trickiest parts of actually being a professional dancer. With that, we thought we'd simplify your search by compiling a list of over 25 jobs boards that publish dance and other arts notices.
Use these resources in conjunction with your ongoing efforts of taking classes regularly, networking, and being the go-getting hustler that you are, and you'll have a well rounded system from which to build your career.
Note: The Working Dancer is not responsible for the accuracy or nature of posts published by these job boards. Be sure to research the validity of notices prior to auditioning or submitting.
